June Bugs

The days have been hot here. The kids have been playing in the water as much as possible. My backyard looks like a jungle. Oh, where did Spring go?

Discovery Center

We explored the local Discovery Center last week. The kids always have such a blast there! Just had to post a few pictures of these handsome boys!

Chantel's Baby Shower

This is our dear friends baby, Isabel Wangari. Isn't she precious!

Snow, snow, snow....

If it wasn't freezing cold out, we would have enjoyed playing in it a little more!

We Got Our Christmas Tree

We went to a little farm outside of Springfield, this year to get our tree. It is a White Pine. The first trees we looked at were a little tall. Oliver actually sawed almost the entire thing down his self.

The guy on the tractor owned the farm that we got the tree from. He was very friendly, and enjoyed the children. His dog's name was Holly.

With lots of help the job got done! Everyone work as a team!

Tke it Home

This was a simple sweet Christmas tree hunt. We all had a good time.

Happy Baby

Solomon doesn't sit still for a minute! He was a wiggler even before he was born. He starting to crawl on his hands and knees now ( not the army crawl so much) and even tries to stand on his own!

Halloween

We really had fun dressing up this year. Oliver is " Commander Cody",Lily was ""Venom", and a princess, Dan was "snake eyes", Ellis was a Mongolian Ninja, sol was the cutest bumble bee. Oh yes, Andrew was Master Ticklefu! We went to a fall festival at church; not very much fun. The worst part was Oliver puking up hot dogs in his shoe and on the floor. This year we went Trick or Treating in our neighborhood. It was a very nice change. Our neighborhood is becoming a little more family oriented, it seems. The children brought home way too much candy, ughh! They had a blast.
